Real estate investors, both individual and institutional, purchased one-third of single-family homes sold in Q2 2025, a five-year high. Despite a lower raw number of purchases year-over-year, their market share increased due to weaker overall sales. While large investors are shifting capital to build-to-rent, small investors dominate ownership. Institutional investors are net sellers, but this provides opportunities for smaller buyers and increases rental supply, particularly impacting states like Texas, California, and Florida.
